"Katie NM" posted the route with a Strava link for the map. It is a 17-mile loop in the Sandia Mtn Wilderness Area.
Neither the fastest known time, nor the first known time, since I know others have done this loop. I'm typically one of the slowest out there! Thought I would get a thread going anyway.
Starting at the Embudito trailhead, take the 365 to the Pino to the S. Crest Trail where you can then pick up the Embudito to head back to the parking lot, clockwise. 17.2 miles and 4105'. I finished in 5:57:30 today.
Some of the ascents listed here also have car-to-car times.

Charleston Peak loop in the Mount Charleston Wilderness portion of the Spring Mountains just NW of Las Vegas. It is such an obvious and natural peak loop (within 45 min of a major destination) that a lot of trail runners have done the loop (and blogged about the beauty of the Spring Mountains on the edge of the Mojave Desert). The legendary likes of Dave Mackey, Rickey Gates, & Karl Meltzer have all at various times mentioned running the beautiful Charleston Peak loop.
