Lots of unregistered people run,and have done so for many years.There will be some very unhappy people

Tough! People spend a lot of time, blood, sweat, tears and money to earn the opportunity to "Boston". Bandits are nothing more than shoplifters without a conscience.

I ran it unofficially years ago and know many others who put time, blood, sweat, and tears into it AND pay the taxes that pave the roads they run on! The ‘bandits’ are by far the most exciting part of the race. No one will say it but the next marathon will have an entirely different feel because they capitulated to the terrorists.
