HUMAN PERFORMANCE ANGLE

TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / When endurance athlete John Borden launches into his 100-mile Tampa 100 run this November, he won't just be racing for a finish time - he will be running toward an entirely new identity.

Borden, who struggled for years with burnout, chronic stress, and emotional collapse post-career, credits plant medicine, psilocybin-assisted integration, somatic training, and therapeutic lifestyle design for rebuilding his body, nervous system, and purpose. His 100-mile ultra effort is not just a physical test - it is an embodied ceremony of rebirth.

His run will culminate live on stage at the Cannadelic Global Summit where he will share the journey that carried him from breakdown to breakthrough.

The Athlete + The Ceremony

Borden represents a growing category of modern athletes who are using psychedelics not for escapism - but for regulation, recovery, neural rewiring, and resilience building.

He is not sponsored by a shoe brand. He is sponsored by healing.

His keynote-style final 20-minute stage share will unpack:

• Why athletes are uniquely vulnerable to identity collapse after career shift

• How psilocybin + intentional integration can accelerate emotional repair

• Building flow-state through nervous system literacy

• Using endurance as medicine - not punishment

• How plant medicine helped him restore his love for movement itself
