How to get one of the race badges (hacking/cheating the system)

Image
   The badge Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks 2024 This post will be about cheating or hacking the system to get a badge. I don't promote cheating so what you do with this information is up to you. I don't do it. I just hack the system to understand how it works. I will be using my test account to get the badge. My main account will not have this badge. The badge  Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks 2024 is a typical race badge. You had to do a race at the correct location at the right date and time. Description: " Complete at least a 5-km run in the Stirnu buks event in Saulkrastu, Latvia, on March 23, 2024." Start by investigating the description to get the requirements. Distance: At least 5 km (so any distance longer than 5 km) Activity: Running Course:  Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks event Location: Saulkrastu, Latvia Date: March 23, 2024 You need to find the race course. Start by looking at the race page to see if you can download the course. https://www.stirnubuks.lv/race/2024/saulkras...
