4. Is there a link between extreme running and colon cancer? One study suggests yes.
https://www.inovanewsroom.org/press-release/2025/08/groundbreaking-inova-study-finds-potential-link-between-long-distance-running-and-colon-cancer/
The study enrolled 100 participants between the ages of 35 and 50 who had completed at least five marathons or two ultramarathons and had never undergone a colonoscopy. Importantly, individuals with hereditary cancer syndromes or inflammatory bowel disease were excluded to isolate the potential impact of endurance exercise alone.
The findings were striking:
15% of participants had advanced adenomas (pre-cancerous lesions), compared to the expected 1–2% in average-risk individuals in this age range.
41% of participants had at least one adenoma.
The average age of participants was 42.5 years old – two and a half years below the recommended age for a first screening colonoscopy.
