Like I said, I've run them too. The chip could easily be placed on someone else's shoe while they run the race and then be switched back. It's not hard to do.

I would agree if this was an average person we were talking about. But it's Katie Holmes and she's pretty well known, which I would think would make it even harder for her to cheat. And I'm sure she wasn't just standing there all by herself - there were probably cameras around, etc.
Speculation is one thing (it's what we're doing). Proof is a totally different thing. And with how many people are working the route on these things, someone somewhere would be able to put together a pretty decent timeline showing she wasn't actually there, if she really didn't run it. (And to be honest, if you're going to cheat, wouldn't it make sense that you cheat to make yourself look better? She's gotten so much grief for her five+ hour finish time, I just can't even see someone cheating to get what would be considered a totally crappy time.)
IMO there are too many variables that would have had to have been manipulated and given all those variables, someone would have come out with some
proof by this time. (I don't think that because she wasn't wearing a bra and looks semi-decent at the finish line are even close to any kind of proof or really any reason to question her participation.) At the very least, I would seriously assume the marathon organizers themselves would have been all over this, as they don't take cheating lightly. That's all I'm saying.
