How are you all dear Fellow runners!!!!

Sorry this time for the delay posting our selection of best Running Authors this term... Honestly, I am really very busy in the work these days and I couldn't make it before...

Anyway...Are you ready for voting our very best RUNNING AUTHOR OF THE WEEK?

This is the 5th edition of the NEW RUNNING SEASON!!!

As explained in ''The Steem Running Project: Introductory Post'' , approximately every week, a dedicated post will be written showing what, according to us, have been the 4 best Running Posts published during the period.

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.

Additionally to the usual prize, @runningproject is now "powered" by @actifit .

As we have announced in this post and also yesterday here, @actifit will reward the selected authors with AFIT tokens based on the following split:

• 300 AFIT tokens for the Runner of the week

• 100 AFIT tokens each for the other 3 Authors selected

@actifit will reward the 4 selected authors with good upvotes!

@marionbowes: ''DESTINATION RUN #1 ....NIAGARA FALLS INTERNATIONAL MARATHON"

^{Extracted from the post: "Once out on my route, I quickly realized that running alongside the Falls engages almost all of your senses: the sight of the water cascading powerfully over the cliff; the sound of the rushing rapids as it approaches and plunges over the Falls; and the feel of the moist air enveloping you and dew drops dancing on your lips..."}

@amico: ''Running for #automaticwin + Happy dogs''

^{Extracted from the post: "...Hey @peter2017! Taking advantage of this false spring, could we meet on the Munchen-Venice path?..."}

@run.vince.run: ''Taupo Ultra Marathon, I promise it was 50k''

^{Extracted from the post: "...that is my first official ultra marathon done. Writing about it one day after it happened, I can honestly say I am glad I did it, but not sure I will do another one. I am not sure if it has just been a big year with probably too many marathons but, I am looking forward to some shorter races over the summer. "}

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.
