I'm not sure about being able to directly run it. However, BOINC does run on Ubuntu, and a friend who owns a Chromebook managed to install Ubuntu in such a way that it runs side-by-side with Chrome OS - so you can run both operating systems at the same time and switch between them with a simple keyboard shortcut. You could then run BOINC on that Ubuntu, if you really want to run BOINC on that computer and are willing to go down that route.

It doesn't seem too difficult if you have a basic amount of command line knowledge, you can find various tutorials with a simple Google search: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=ubuntu+on+chromebook
