Started tracking someone else on another route mid-run?

I was racing a virtual 5k run this morning. When I uploaded the data, the route shown wasn't mine! Rather, halfway through it looked like it started following someone else running another route in the neighborhood. At a much slower pace :) which may explain why my final time was so far off my expectations. Has this ever happened to you? How to avoid in the future? The switch over happened a good 10 minutes into the run. This was the first time the GPS function was really important to me, so feeling a bit let down. Wondering if it has often been tracking random other runners without my knowledge...Thanks!

    I am not aware that Garmin Connect would offer any kind of virtual runs, but maybe I just do not understand what you mean. Could you please explain it more clearly? And if it was a virtual run, how is supposed the GPS work with virtual runs? What device, and what software did you use for the "virtual run"?
