The incredible journey: Elon students to embark across India unaided in Adventurists' Rickshaw Run

By Abby Franklin

Most Elon University students are familiar with Bio-Carts, the small vehicles used by members of Elon’s maintenance staff to travel around campus.

This January during Winter Term, five Elon students will be driving two auto rickshaws nearly 2,000 miles in less than two weeks in an ultimate adventure called the Rickshaw Run in India. Seniors Maria Castine, Will Stirn, Ben Donahue, Jack Halligan and junior Jordan Nulsen will be making this journey.
