Abstract
A timing chip-engaging retainer device is disclosed which is structured to releasably and selectively engage a timing device or chip of the type worn by athletes in endurance races or other timed sporting activities so that the timing chip may be easily and quickly attached to the athlete's apparel, such as an athletic shoe, and easily and quickly detached from the athlete's apparel without cutting or otherwise harming the athlete's apparel, as is currently the practice in removing timing chips from athletic shoes.
