Watch the North American Regional Semifinal of the Cat Global Operator Challenge live on YouTube

Operators from across North America will compete in the second round of the Cat Global Operator Challenge (GOC) at the North American Regional Semifinal Competition in Clayton, N.C., from September 23-25, 2025. Competitors advanced from local challenges hosted by Cat dealers earlier this year, where they faced at least three different skill-based challenges on three separate pieces of equipment. Two finalists from the Regional Semifinal will be crowned North American Regional Champions and will advance to the global finale in March 2026 at Caterpillar's outdoor Festival Grounds during CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, joining nine champions from around the world.
