Salty Trailrunning Journal, Vol.3

We don’t print magazines to look clever. We make them because phones die, memories fade, and someone should write down what actually happened.

Author Craig Mod has this rule: move first, make after. Let the place do the editing. That stuck. We move, then we make. The trail decides what stays in.

SALTY Journal is packed full of inspiring, funny and captivating stories all about trail running. From epic adventures to heartbreaking tales, it’s all here.

In this issue:

SALTY Journal THREE is here. Took us a while. Not because we were slacking (well, maybe a bit) – but because there was too much to say. How do you open a mag that goes from pottery to pain caves, from Barkley hallucinations to mid-race garden hoses?

So we tried not to overthink it. We just made the damn thing.

148 pages of what trailrunning really is: muddy, messy, meaningful. The kind of stories you won’t find on your feed. A runner who trains with spreadsheets and zero hype. A teacher who finishes Barkley and goes straight back to class. A dad who stopped coaching and started just being there for his son.

This volume isn’t about flashy indexes. It’s about what happens in between. The small, strange, human stuff. Why we run. What we carry. What we leave behind.
