Probable route for 2011 Airtel Delhi Half Marathon

Ok guys, here's the surprise (to some). This is the prospective route map for the 2011 Airtel Delhi Half Marathon. We know it will start and end at JN Stadium, and I am assuming rest of the route might be similar to the 2005 route shown below (just a guess, not yet confirmed). So, there is no Nehru Park start and end for this year. In fact, the Nehru Park was only chosen some years back due to all the construction activity taking place at the JN Stadium, so now we are back to the old route.
I hope these guys allow people to actually finish inside the stadium, but I think it is unlikely given the logistics complications involved. Remember, this route involves much more running in the sun (and running alongside traffic, other side of road) compared to the 2010 route

Update: The confirmed route for 2011 is as follows

JN Stadium - Lodi Road - Mathura Road - Dr Zakir Hussain Marg - India Gate - Rajpath - Janpath - Raisina Road - Mandi House - and then back on this route

Thank you for giving the route layout! That should be useful to a lot of prospective participants.As an add-on the 2005 route /map layout,makes it extra interesting,as one can compare the two.>One observation the present route ateast is not on a highway,that tends to be really grimy and quite uneven;
