Salty | Trail Running Magazine

The rawest, most honest trail running magazine of the moment. No slick marketing, no glossy bullshit — SALTY writes down what really happenedEven when it snows, plans collapse, and coffee gets cold. Edition 4 captures that feeling perfectly: mountains that don't give a damn about your plans, races that need to be rewritten, and stories that only come to life when the phone dies and the elements take over.

✍️ What this edition is about

• 📍 Schnalstal Alpine Trail – The place where SALTY 04 was born: big ideas, little sleep, cold coffee, snow sideways. One race canceled, one rescheduled, everyone on to the last finisher.
• 🏔️ Rosanna Buchauer – On winning, and why it doesn’t automatically make your life better.
• 🔀 Nils Arend – Going right when everyone else is going left.
• 🧠 Thibaut Marquet – Fast legs, but an even stronger mind.
• 👶 Denisa Dragomir – Motherhood and mountain life in balance.
• 🎽 Daniel Gassner – Proves that style is an attitude.
• 🤠 Emily Hawgood &Paul Lind – Western States wisdom and trail material.
• 📓 Josh Lynott – One of the finest writers in trail running.
• 🇬🇧 A nod to fell running – No medals. Just a cup of tea and a sausage roll.

📚 What makes SALTY different?

• 🧭 Move first, make after. First follow the mountain, then write it down.
• 🌧️ Stories that linger — because they are real, not romanticized.
• 📷 Photos that smell like mud — honest, raw, unpolished.
• 💬 Language that sounds out of breath — exactly what a good mountain day feels like.
• 🔋 And if your phone runs out of battery? This magazine always works.

🎒 Perfect for

• Anyone who's ever stood on a mountain in sideways rain and thought: “Yes, this is exactly right.”
• The day after your race when your legs are tired, but you're already thinking about the next registration
• People who want a magazine that is read, not collected
