Directions
The event will take place on Thompson Island. The race timing staff should plan to arrive by 1 pm at the Thompson Island dock in South Boston/Seaport.
Thompson Islands dock is located off of Drydock Avenue near the Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston at the Seaport in the Marine Industrial Park, South Boston. We use a public dock that is not well-marked, so please allow plenty of time to find us the first time you visit. A good Google Maps reference is EDIC Pier. Parking is available at 12 Drydock Ave.
