Details
The Vertical World Circuit website [1] contains all the info about the eight races of 2015.
OpenStreetMap [2] is the source for the minimized maps.
The sketches for the towers and the maps were imported into Mathematica as PNG files.
The stair for the extrusion is realized as a NURBS curve and surface. Further explanation for NURBS objects is available at the Wolfram Demonstration by the same author.
The fully extruded stair surface is used for the climbing shoe animation. The shoe in the animation is just a simplified placeholder for the runners.
