No Van Support Leg Rules:No one is allowed outside of the van to support runners on No Van Support Legs or Partial No Van Support Legs .  These legs will be marked in the Ragmag you receive upon checking in. You may pull over in a legal spot to cheer your runner on, but you may not get out of your vehicle or impede traffic in any way.  If you do see a runner in distress, you are allowed to stop and help.  You must obey all pedestrian and traffic laws. Runners are encouraged to carry their own water on these legs. However, Ragnar will provide a water station on each of these legs over 4 miles.
