However, distance running is correlated with higher rates of colorectal cancer: https://preventcancer.org/article/does-long-distance-running-cause-colorectal-cancer/

So, you're more likely to get it, but also more likely to survive? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, but also

Although these numbers seem extreme, the study shows a correlation, which is a trending relationship between long-distance running and advanced adenomas, not causation, meaning running directly causes the adenomas. There is no evidence presented that definitively shows running causes polyps.
