Most likely, though, it requires reactions that are really faster than you can think through the moves--it's a type of intelligence, but a lot of it is instinct acquired through drills and training.
I'm not sure running REQUIRES intelligence, but the distance running teams I see at schools almost universally have the highest GPAs. Perhaps because it's a sport of intensely delayed gratification, which--as per the Stanford Marshmallow Test--we see in those with higher IQs.

I do think that motivating yourself to do the absolutely punishing training, day in and day out, week in and week out, all by yourself, without teams, without drills, without variety... it requires immense strength of will, which perhaps isn't commensurate with intelligence, but may be related.

Actually, probably bodybuilding. In order to count calories, you have to be able to know how to count, which is more than you can say for most sports' requirements.
Long range precision shooting is also calculation-heavy. Think golf, but with distances up to ~1000 yards.

The best in this sport are literally pushing the boundaries of what is possible for the human body, and that requires a huge amount of self-awareness, both physically and psychologically.
In another sport, like fighting, you only have to beat someone else. It's like the old joke about the bear--"I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you!"
But in running, it's a very pure, personal, intense effort.

Example: would you say "talking about him or her" or "talking about him or she". You say the former.
In terms of the rest, I still do not agree about running, but it comes down to one's definition of intelligence I suppose.

trying not to be biased here..
but id say baseball
4 bases 90 feet apart
runners can steal, dive, avoid slide
hitters (generally have 7 pitches to do anything with the ball)
meanwhile the pitcher has 7 pitches to throw to each (4 balls = walk, 3 strikes = out)
3 outs per inning to put the ball into play trying to avoid 9 defendeers at different positions on the field
then you get to the complexity of pitching. 3-1 counts having different pitches, 2-2 count having different pitches, 1-2 count, etc.
the pitcher is solely trying to upset the hitters timing. so, using his brain to be ahead of the hitter as when to throw certain pitches
the hitter is then thinking like a pitcher as to what the pitcher will throw and you can be talking up to 10 pitches with various speeda and potentially opposite movement
e.g. a sinker breaking down and in to you or away from you or a slider breaking into you or away from you
could go on a lot longer..
tennis is prob up there too

And it is relevant--at least to me--that in a discussion about intelligence, you show evidence of a lack of it.
Whatever sport you play, that ain't it.

lmao brb have to think really hard when the catcher is fingering the air to find out what to throw
Actually as a whole, baseball is probably the most tradie sport out there. Brb slow as fuk, spend more time drinking beer and eating microwavable dinner food than watching any action. Brb players spend more time chewing and watching from the sidelines/outfield than actually doing anything. I bet most mlb players would be tradies if they weren't pro at baseball.

At a higher level, I think tennis is up there. Strategizing while going at such a quick pace against such a variety of opponents... not to mention the work and sometimes mental effort required on technique too.

I do just fine with logic by the way....formal mathematical logic, not writing up posts quickly on the misc. Perhaps you should learn the difference.
When one is failing to justify a terrible argument (that running requires a lot of intelligence), he/she will just resort to grammar policing.
