Benefits of technology

The present invention is a shirt with a Bible holder and built-in pocket system. The shirt features a zippable pocket on the side for holding keys, money, or other small items. The front of the shirt has a zippable pocket for holding the label of the Bib used during a race. The shirt also has a pocket at the bottom of the label for easy removal. The technical effects of the invention include a convenient and secure way to hold small items and the label of the Bible during a race.

Problems solved by technology

Runners often need to keep some personal property with them while they run such as a car key, money, registration paper, driver's license, or credit card, and really have nowhere to put these items.
Runners also complain that the bib gets caught on obstacles when running in races such as mud runs or runs with obstacles involved, when snagged it will pull their clothes and the bib gets pulled away from the pins leaving them blowing in the wind.
When the bib blows around it makes it difficult for a photographer to get the runners picture with their bib number, and it is a distraction to the runner.
