A dedicated post will be published by @runningproject announcing the winner on following Saturday. ___ ___ # HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner of @runningproject? 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. ___ ___ ![RunningProjectBanner2.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVKDZ5cubwPX5W3vuAEowWhUWh55gsUqjgrKSfSsAEQjG/RunningProjectBanner2.gif) **For more information about the @runningproject please read [''The Steem Running Project: Introductory Post''](https://steemit.com/steemit/@runningproject/the-steem-running-project-introductory-post) and also [The Steem Running Project: 9th Status Report , Runningproject has reached 300 SP!!!!](https://steemit.com/runningproject/@runningproject/the-steem-running-project-9th-status-report-runningproject-has-reached-300-sp).** ^{Post created by @dailyrunner as assigned Runner Witness of @runningproject}
