Deer & Dog Warning For hundreds of years Richmond Park has been home to herds of Red and Fallow deer, currently numbering more than 600. They may stay well away from the race route, however given that they are not averse to crossing the road when cars are travelling along the road, they will not consider cyclists and runners an insurmountable obstacle. Competitors must give way to the deer. In the event that they do choose to cross in front of you, give way and do not attempt to move them on more quickly, as they may react aggressively if they feel threatened. Equally you need to be aware of dogs which may be off their leads.
