The Brush Mountain Breakdown features a 12 miler, 7 miler and 5K fun run, all on trails inside Pandapas Park which is part of the Jefferson National Forest. The run features a challenging course with many hills and some creek crossings (water less than knee deep). There are rest stations with energy gels, bars, water and Gatorade drink.
All the Brush Mountain races are on trails and very limited sections of forest fire roads. The trails cross creeks and offer a good challenge with hills. The trails are well used and are in the scenic Jefferson National Forest.
There will be four aid stations for the 12 miler and one for the 7 miler trail run. The aid stations will have water, Gatorade, energy gels and bars. The aid stations are about every 5 kilometers.
All 12 miler participants receive a technical long sleeve shirt. Participants must finish within the FOUR hour time. 7 mile and 5K participants all receive a long sleeve technical shirt.
12 miler and 7 miler ~ Awards are given to the top two in each age group (top three in 19-24) for men and women and top three finishers overall (also by gender). The age groups for the 12 miler and 7 miler are 18 and under, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60 and over. 5K ~ The top fifteen finishers receive an award – not by age groups.

This is a local race, and one of the only trail races in the series put on by RunAbout Sports (LRS in Blacksburg and Roanoke). Entry is cheap, and you get a long sleeve technical shirt. The only weird thing is that the race doesn’t start until noon on Saturday — kind of a weird time.
The race runs through Jefferson National Forest/Pandapas Pond area. The trails are great. This is mostly run on single track, with just a little bit of fire road in there. October in the mountains is gorgeous, great scenery, and because of the small field you’re almost guaranteed a AG place!
