Looking for a 10-12 mile loop trail run in Tucson area, 4/27

All: I'm going to be visiting Tucson this next weekend, and had planned to run the Bear/Sabino Canyon loop until I found out that the trails were severely damaged last summer. So I'm looking for some substitutes, either in the Catalinas or in the open country west of the main part of Tucson (out toward the desert wildlife park). Anyone have any ideas? Anyone want to come along? As a metric of my pace, I usually take about 7.5-8 hours to go from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, stopping at Ribbon Falls and going out via Bright Angel.

These are two hikes in the Cactus Forest complex of Saguaro National Park. There are other trails in this area as well. You can put together a hike/run of any desired length linking up the trails in the complex. The Visitor's Center for the park will have maps you can use to figure out a route.
