The Gloucester County College Athletic Department is a Comprehensive 13-Sport Program for men and women.  As a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), GCC competes in Region XIX and the Garden State Athletic Conference against other two-year colleges from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

Gloucester County College’s athletic program has received national awards for performances both on the field and in the classroom.  The National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) honored the Roadrunners as the third best non-scholarship National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) program in the country at its annual convention in Orlando in 2009.  For the Roadrunners, this was the third straight top three finish in the NATYCAA Awards Program for Overall Program Excellence.  Nine GCC programs contributed points from NJCAA national championship tournaments and meets.  Fourth place finishes by the men's cross country, women’s tennis, women's track and field, and men's tennis teams helped lead the way for GCC.

The women's cross country team was also recognized for their performance in the classroom as they were honored the 2009 NJCAA National Academic Team of the Year.  GCC women's cross country student-athletes boasted the best combined team grade-point-average of any squad in the country finishing with a remarkable 3.7 overall G.P.A.
