SALT COVER SEPTEMBER 3 copy

SALT’s September issue is all about movement: running, cycling, walking, wandering and remembering. From Armenia’s growing running culture and the Tour of Armenia to the human body serving as spectacle, we explore how the city is experienced in motion. We also look back at Yerevan’s memories and uncover a coffee shop hidden behind a secret door.

The Run Is On

Once uncommon in Armenia, running has grown into a vibrant culture of clubs, races and communities. From Yerevan to Gyumri, Vanadzor and Dilijan, runners are reshaping attitudes toward fitness, friendship and outdoor life, turning a once-unfamiliar pastime into a growing part of everyday life.
