A variant of this introduced in Season 18 is the no-rest leg, in which teams are checked in at a pit stop as normal, after which they are told that the next leg is to begin immediately and are handed their next clue. Typically all teams are able to continue racing onto the next leg at a no-rest Pit Stop. Usually, in both cases, teams who arrived first at a midpoint or Pit Stop first are not awarded a prize, nor facing elimination or a non-elimination penalty if they came last, with the exception of a few cases whereas a team is eliminated during this point of the leg (see Unusual eliminations below).
