I first heard about it at the age of 21 My friends from the North were talking about the May Run "What's the May Run ?" I did inquire They told me "it's about going in the bush and building a campfire"
It seemed kind of odd as I had never heard that before I was used to hearing Victoria Day weekend or the May two-four It's the start of camping season but I must not forget to mention That up here it's in another totally different dimension
Having not been raised up here, I guess I will never truly understand How the May Run captivates so many people in this part of the land Is it because the winters are so long and so harsh ? Or is it this need to get bitten by black flies and to survive in a marsh ?
Many folks talk about it candidly and some have no shame Many are bush people going into the wild to play their game Many anglers look forward to this weekend with only one thing in mind It's to catch that big trophy fish that's one of a kind
Whatever is your reason to enjoy life outdoors Make great memories with you and yours Cheers to the long weekend and have lots of fun Enjoy your weekend and have a safe and happy May Run !!
