I would even believe it if proven that the mountain runs put more strain on your car than what you would on the race track.
Having been on both, I'd say that the race track is still harder on brakes because more heat is generated especially if you go non-stop for a 10 minute session (turns my new brake fluid black and pedal feels spongy. Goes back to normal after I bleed it out). However, I will also say that OEM pads are insufficient for mountain runs. That being said, a BBK is also not required for mountain runs. What is required are good sports pads that can withstand the heat and still deliver stopping performance at high temperature.
