The ninth annual Speed Rack competition hit Denver on February 17, 2020, featuring some of Denver's top female bartenders.

Speed Rack, a national women's bartending competition that raises money for breast cancer awareness, hit Denver for the Southwest regionals at Cervantes' Masterpiece on Monday, February 17. The women of Denver's burgeoning cocktail scene, plus two from Salt Lake City, battled for the chance to go to the Speed Rack championship in Chicago on May 3. Kate Myers of Retrograde came out victorious, shaking up the best cocktails and posting the fastest times. For more details, see our complete Speed Rack coverage.
