Another nomination of 4 excellent running posts that will help us find the new Running Author of the Week.

@Runningproject is posting this for 15th consecutive week. Yey!!!

^Source
It is interesting how this network of running members is growing (so we have new runners again). But it is also nice to see that the "regular" and more long-term members make their best to keep the posts interesting and on a high-quality level!

Thank you all who are participating your running posts to @runningproject.

So let's find out who are the nominees for THE RUNNING AUTHOR OF THE WEEK 15!

In collage you can see who is nominated, details will follow a bit later... read on...

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

@soluce07 : ''Le défi 100 000 km du 01 mai''

^{@soluce07 prepared a nice post about a running in Ardèche on a rainy day. It is bilingual and parts of the post are even three-lingual! The post is equipped with nice photos and statistics about the run. It has a pinch of humor in it as well (snail remark). We also like how @soluce07 concludes his post: "So you see, now there's no excuse not to run. Take your sneakers and join us."}

@browery: ''My run stats - 4th May - 8 km [#runningproject & #runforsteem]"

^{Sometimes we decide to nominate same runner as the previous week... Here is another high-quality post of our runner @browery with all the statistics and links to Steemit places that supports running. Nice photos, very well structured post, great run with a good pace and bilingual... so we are nominating @browery again this week!}

@lil-mich: ''Thursday fun-run''

^{Excellent post about combining running and bonding with a child. We believe that running should be (also) fun and @lil-mich expresses already with the title of the post that there was an element of fun in this run! Nice photos with comments are in this post too!}

@primersion: ''25K Trailrunning Race - 02:24:43''

Congratulations on the excellent result and also thank you for putting together a very informative post with many nice pics, so we feel like we attended the race!}

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.
