What is the term used for runners in the Boston Marathon, who did not qualify, or who do not have a Runner number, but run in the marathon anyway?

Boston uses corrals for the athletes. No number, no entry. And they have a lot of spotters on the course looking for runners w/out numbers. I'm told they are quite aggressive in getting bandits off the course.
