Dear runners of @runningproject, dear readers! Hello all to the 16th edition of VOTE YOUR RUNNING AUTHOR OF THE WEEK 16!!!

As most of you know we are weekly nominating 4 running posts from approved @runningproject runners and you get to choose who gets the title of Runner of the week.
Here is a collage of photos from nominated posts for the week 16:

REMINDER ON HOW THE CONTEST WORKS:

Readers of the post will vote which is the Running Author of the week, who will be awarded with the part of the earnings of the same report.

• The main criteria we use in order to nominate the candidates is the Quality and Originality of the Post, but nevertheless we will try to choose also posts done by Approved Runners which visibility is low due to, either, they are newcomers to the STEEM ecosystem and to the @runningproject initiative or, also authors that have not been nominated before or have been nominated, but we feel, they should be nominated again!

• The ''Running Authors'' will be awarded with a portion of the 50% of the SBD earned on this post approximately after one week of its publication, so all of them will be rewarded but just one will be the ''Author of the week''.

• The prize will be split as follows:

      ''Author of the week'': 70% 
      ''Consolation Prize'': 30% divided among the other authors.
  

A dedicated post will be published by @runningproject announcing the winner on following Saturday.

NOMINATED RUNNING AUTHORS AND RELATED POST

@cstrimel: ''10x10 Mile Sprints with 364-Day Rest Intervals! (#runforsteem post)''

^{This is a very interesting running post for sure. @cstrimel uses a Broad Street Run Race as the main theme of this blog, which is written with humor. And he also does not stop at only writing about this one particular race. He uses this race as inspiration for sharing with us how this paticular race was important for his life and relationship. Thank you for this bright and different approach!}

HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner

The main milestone of the @runningproject now is to get as much STEEMPOWER as possible so the UPVOTE power will be growing day by day with the entrance of new members as well as because of the reinvestment of all the curation and the majority of the earnings produced on the post published by @runningproject.

In order to get enrolled you just need to do the following steps:

1. Write a comment in this post or any other from @runningproject with a link to one of your posts about running, requesting its review.

2. After checking your post, @runningproject will decide if you are or are not an "Approved" Runner. "Low quality" post will not be considered.

3. If you are definitely an "Approved" Runner, @runningproject will reply to you asking to send 1SBD or 1STEEM as an "Enrollment Fee."

4. You will be included in the "CURATION LIST"

The initial "Enrollment Fee" is entirely used as STEEM POWER. This fee, 1 SDB/STEEM, may increase in the future depending on the number of members and Market price.
Additional donations will be also fully invested in STEEM POWER.
