Unfortunately, it was postponed to the same day as the 25th
Anniversary Tug Hill Tourathon.

You know, there was some sort of gentlemen's agreement made after
the last time they did this, years ago. Something along the lines

Perhaps Verizon does not

The Loppet website has said Feb 5 was their fallback date for quite
some time, and I think the people at Verizon are considering a bunch of
factors in choosing dates -- including weather, their own staffing and
other events at their venue and in the ASM
