Surprised to not see this here already, but perhaps it hasn't been done often enough to warrant a FKT posting.
For those unfamiliar, Nolan's 14 is fourteen 14ers in the Sawatch Range in one foot-powered push of less than 60 hours. Route is open, but distance is 80+ miles and elevation gain is around 40,000' minimum. It's a big weekend and it's rarely done. Full description at mattmahoney.net/nolans14/
Eric Lee of Boulder just finished Nolan's in 57:27:14 starting at 6am on August 31, 2012, from Fish Hatchery and traversing south. As far as I can tell, this is the second fasted recorded traverse. The only faster time I've found is John Robinson's 54:57 run in 2002.
Added by admin: I'm adding a list of those who have finished the Nolan's route (thanks to Gavin McKenzie). Times are given for the final summit and for the TH. Note that some are over the 60 hour cutoff time.
trailrunnermag.com has a nice article on the background of Nolan's.

#Note that Andrew started at the trailhead for Holy Cross at 7:45AM on 6/29 and reached the Fish Hatchery about 12 hours later. He slept a few hours and then started Nolan's at around 1:30AM on 6/30, and reached the Blank Gulch TH at 7:17AM on 7/2, thereby completing a traverse of the 15 Sawatch 14ers in about 71h32m (in addition to setting the FKT for southbound Nolan's)!
