South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the Newlands Picnic Site in Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town has been closed since 19 November 2025 for the RMB Ultra-Trail Cape Town®. The site will serve as the final aid station for participants before they cross the finish line, with the closure remaining in effect until 24 November 2025.

Visitors are encouraged to explore alternative picnic spots within Table Mountain National Park, such as Oudekraal, Tokai, or Silvermine, and SANParks apologizes for any inconvenience caused.
