5K & Fall Fest
Fall Fest & Ginger Goudie Memorial 5K
Planting Seeds for Education
Saturday, November 7, 2026
The Janus School, 205 Lefever Road, Mount Joy, PA
Join us for the third annual Ginger Goudie Memorial 5K and The Janus School Fall Fest on November 7! This family-fun event supports continued excellence in education for students with learning differences and also honors Ginger Goudie, a dear friend and Janus teacher who passed away after her courageous fight against cancer in 2022. We remember Ginger as an inspiring math and post-graduate transition programming teacher, always encouraging others to see the best in the world around them. All Ginger Goudie Memorial 5K proceeds support the Ginger Goudie Financial Aid Fund and, in honor of her love for gardening, will continue planting seeds for education.
