Isn’t the kicker to all of this that you have to either Boston qualify in another race or enter through a charity sponsorship?
It’s not the same as a lot of virtual marathons out there which cater to the medal collectors; least the vast majority of those getting the medal for their virtual run HAVE run a marathon before.

They could station all the entrants on webcams who would jog on their treadmills for 26.5 miles.

Treadmill? With a large screen?
I’d probably still oversleep.

Both groups shut down Boston and got the authorities to say “Shelter in place”. They put the city on lockdown while terrorists were running around free. A homeowner discovered them in his backyard.

Besides all that, it is impossible for runners in a marathon to “socially distance”, at least much of the time.
Or—for that matter—to wear masks!
It will be interesting to see how this “live-streamed” Marathon will play out!!!!
