Never done it, but I've run a lot in RP.
I'd say you won't need trail shoes. The Tamsin trail is mostly metalled path as it is a cycle route. There may be some muddy bits in the last stretch towards Richmond Gate but 3/5 of the route is on road or pavement (Sawyer's Hill and Sheen Gate).
Google streetview covers the route and is a good representation of reality.

Hi, has anybody done the Richmond Park Half before? I'll be there next month, unsure whether it's a road or trail shoe affair, not familiar with the route. Cheers
