Yes, the Boston Marathon has always been held in Boston.
No, not really. The course starts in the village of Hopkinton and passes through the towns of Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, and Brookline on the way to the Boylston Street finish line. Only the final 1.5 miles is actually run within the city of Boston. Prior to 1925 the marathon started in Ashland.
