a prayerful fitness app

Run The Rosary® is the app for Catholics who are looking for a way to combine their love of praying with their love of exercising. This unique app allows you to simultaneously hear and pray the Rosary while exercising to an instrumental song that matches your running speed.  Another unique feature of Run The Rosary is the Prayer List, which allows the runner to select from a list of prayers to hear while they run.

how it works

Run the Rosary users first select the mystery of the Rosary they want to pray or let the app choose the daily mystery for them. Next, users select the instrumental song with the beats per minute (BPM), which matches their running speed. For example, a runner who runs a 10-minute mile selects a song with 150BPM.  A range of songs is offered – from a 100BPM walking pace up to 170BPM sprinting pace.  A recording of the spoken Rosary begins while the selected pacing song plays in the background. Now you’re ready to Run the Rosary! After the Rosary is complete, the runner can choose to pray another mystery or switch over to the Prayer List.

the prayer list

The Prayer List component of RTR operates just as a music play list, except the user selects prayers to listen to and pray (as opposed to songs) while exercising. Run the Rosary offers recorded prayers including The Act of Contrition, Apostle’s Creed, Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and many more.  After selecting the desired prayers, the runner picks their pacing song and begins their run.
