To those special few drivers who win both their class races on Saturday and Sunday (Short & Long courses), and who's class consists of a minimum of five (5) starters each day, Finger Lakes Region SCCA will bestow the crown of "Champion du Circuit du Glen" on Sunday. "Champion du Circuit du Glen" is a lifetime award, and will not be re-awarded to previous winners.

Driver/Car must be entered in the Regional and compete in Saturday's race to be eligible for enduro.
- Race duration is scheduled for 1 hour, but may be shortened by the Chief Steward.
- The official grid will be established by qualifying times from Saturday’s LONG course sprint race qualifying sessions.
