UTMB World ↗Running & Endurance
Running is one of the endurance sports Süleyman Günay continues to pursue actively. Race records are matched with verifiable result pages and this section is updated as new races are added. Beyond race day, running is also part of an active life shared outdoors and with family.

FROM THE COURSE
Original photographs from races and trail courses.
This selection uses only original photographs supplied for the project; generated or collage images are not used in the public gallery.
FAMILY · MOVEMENT · SHARED MOMENTS
Sharing running with family.
Race days and outdoor training show running not only as an individual goal, but also as time shared together.
CLINICAL FOCUS
The right patient before the right procedure.
Clinical interests include ERCP and cholangioscopy, diagnostic and interventional EUS, ESD–EMR–EFTR, POEM/G-POEM, subepithelial lesion therapy, reflux procedures and endoscopic bariatric therapy. In advanced endoscopy, value comes not from doing every new technique, but from selecting when it genuinely benefits the patient.
