While the PCs deal with the rampaging cy-boars, other teams arrive and attempt to pass them on the course. At the end of each of the listed rounds, the following teams arrive and attempt to complete the final gauntlet, which takes them two rounds each. As long as these teams are attempting the final gauntlet, a PC can attempt a Diplomacy check to Request that team’s assistance during the battle. The DCs are noted alongside the team. If one group agrees to assist, each PC may treat one check per round as if they had been successfully Aided. If the Request was a critical success, or if two groups were persuaded, treat the Aid as a critical success. Round 1: Free Captains (DC 18). Round 2: Stewards (DC 16). Round 3: DCI if the PCs’ saved Nib (no check required), otherwise Knights of Golarion (DC 15).
Forgot to remove the strikethrough for Round 2. Stewards team are passing through and Free Captains team has left since end of Round 2. DCI will be next at end of Round 3.

So if I'm reading the rules correctly, I can heal someone for 4 hp with a single action right now? Will healing Luna help her stabilize, or would it make more sense to heal Dae or Navasi?
Yes, you can transfer 4 vitality. Looks like Luna has 5 damage out of 15 HP, so isn't in need of stabilizing. (They don't have their HP in their stat line, which is why it isn't on the combat tracker and it looks like they're dying.) Since Dae is in melee, they might be a better target for the healing. Because of your Healing harmony, you would also give some ability to remove conditions, but I don't think that applies at the moment (since wounded isn't a condition you can remove).
Luna misses but hits the second time before raising shield. 6 P damage
Red Cy-boar shoots back in successionat Luna but with burning lasers from its eyes.

"Sure! And is that part of the race?" Thanks to Nib's help, the cyboar is too distracted with her to get its attention, that Dae hits once, but not the second time. hit, 9+1 damage; miss
The remaining cyboar is just in time to move away from the corrosive plash.DC 17 basic Reflex save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 vs Caustic Spray Success, 4 acid damage
Gabitha's lance is miss, but heals Navasi, anyway.
Another attack from Luna finally make the cyboar glitch and fall into the solid floor.
After the Starfinders defeat the cy-boars, they can proceed with the obstacle course.
All PCs can work together to complete this course, which can be overcome by succeeding at an DC 15 Acrobatics, Athletics, Crafting, Performance, Survival, or Thievery check. Examples of relevant Lore skills include DC 12 Labor Lore, Media Lore, or Sports Lore.
If it helps in any way, just a reminder that I have a +10 speed modifier from tailwind
Klicknop runs a bit ahead of the group, identifying the structural areas of the obstacle course that will be easiest to traverse. When possible, they adjust things with their repair kit, modifying the course to provide extra handholds or increased stability as needed.
Crafting:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Their work has little useful effect.
Unfortunately, I am out of Hero Points.
This probably doesn't count as a "three action or less" skill check, but I still haven't used my Communalism to grant an ally a skill check re-roll yet, if the GM would allow it (if needed).
After they overcome the final gauntlet, they cross the finish line and complete the Great Absalom Relay.

They see that the teams that get passed them are all knocked out into the river below by the bumper bridge when they stop on the bridge to watch their fight with the cy-boars.
When they reach the finish line, they see above them a large hoverscreen updating their score and rank with the scores and ranks of other competing teams:
“Well done, Starfinders!” Rick Molbrun calls as the Zo! Media Superstars celebrate their victory on the nearby winner’s stage. Each of them is given shirts donated by Dot at Second Time Around that read “I competed in The Great Absalom Relay and all I got was this t-shirt.” They also receive a dragonsight flashlight (see Chronicle Sheet). “You may not have won the Great Absalom Relay, but you performed tremendously well. We saw that last scrape you got into; it may have cost you the race, but it was a great show. Thanks to your efforts, you personally raised thousands of credits for the Absalom Station Foundation. Amazing! Just amazing! Take a bow!”
Venture-Captain Arvin claps Rick on the back as he arrives. “You performed incredibly Starfinders, I couldn’t be prouder of you. I’ll be sure to get you booked for a night out at the Click-Clack Club, you deserve it after today.”
As the closing ceremony concludes, Liall grabs the attention of a camera drone. “That’s right, we won! As if there was any doubt!” She and her team pump their fists and shout “Zo! Media Superstars!” With a final grin she adds, “Life as a superstar is bright and I don’t intend to quit shining! Victory today, tomorrow, and for life! I’ll catch you next time, Pact Worlds.”

Doe joins the Starfinders in celebrating their second place finish. The party lasts well into the station night cycle, and they is consuming the intoxicant of choice with each of their teammates.
When they return to their apartment, they change into pajamas, sigh heavily, and search the infosphere for a cooking class.
