Only their own.
Some used to take water from spectators and became very, very ill. Had to drop out. Actually not that many years ago.
And I know a lot of marathoners (sister has done 13) and none would EVER dream of taking water from other than the officials or friends. Terrible idea.
Some have had urine thrown on them, no telling what's in the water.
