It needs more contrast and to be larger. The worst is #4, it's confusing and it's not clear on what it's selling - looks like an REI ad. The text on the 3rd ad is good but would work better with a picture from the area like #2's pic. #2 is the best by far, but the font for the smaller text is bad.

Who can't think back to childhood and remember the "Little Red Engine that Could," as it is the all-american idea of persevering to attain an "unreachable" goal. However, I agree with Bob. While all the ads are creative, I think you can do better to capture the scenery and essence of the course. Perhaps have a little red engine in the shape of a running shoe climbing one of the mountains with steam coming from the back of the engine / shoe. I like the current Adidas campaign with impossible is nothining, something along those lines. If I had to choose one, I would pick #2 because of the tag line.
