You can mute the music its in the bottom right during a race. I don't think the race is impossible but it sure is close, close enough that it shouldn't even be an impossible badge.
Before that I had this at 5/5 but took it down. You have to make it easier.
This imp badge is really really easy I got it no problem with 4 clerics.

That worked perfectly. Only problem is the back cleric can't attack you will never get a bow or staff but oh well they can smite really well so its okay.
