Will you come if we tell you it does??? 
I don't know that they had the course set out yet, I haven't been to the website lately. All I remember Kattz saying is that they were trying to use as little of the White Rock course as possible so as not to duplicate.

The 5k and Marathon course are still being designed. The tentative marathon course will start and finish near The Cotton Bowl.
We will run through Deep Ellum and then turn on Good-Latimer, run near Baylor Hospital and go up historic Swiss Avenue. From there we will run on the streets between Gaston Avenue and White Rock Lake. We will run to Fischer Road and will run about 1 block at White Rock Lake.
This will be the only contact we have with the lake. We will then go to (KILL) A Mockingbird Lane and head west beyond Peavy Road and then run through the neighborhood in that area. We will head to the Samuell-Grand Park area and from there return to Fair Park
We hope to have complete course design details and certification done soon. Check back later in 2003 for the course map.

How is this "new" or "improved"? You're still talking about Tex-ass.

No we don't! Texans are friendly, warm, and accepting. Elkid wouldn't know how to act.
I think she's (not so)secretly afraid to come to Texas.
