Upcoming Events
2025 Prayer Walk
Saturday, September 20th
Locations & times vary at participating tracks
RTCA tracks and training centers across the country will unite in prayer for the entire horse racing industry!
The annual RTCA Prayer Walk is held on the third Saturday of September each year, to honor the birthday of RTCA's founder, the late Salty Roberts. Bringing prayer and the love of Jesus to the race track was his mission, and we lovingly join to pray on this day to continue Salty's dream of bringing Grace to the race.
Reach out to your local Chaplain for Prayer Walk times, locations, and details.
