5x running distance accuracy

hi

Ive just completed my 3rd park run and where the route has been mapped to 5k, and everyone else’s is reporting 5k my F5x reports 4.6k

Ive tried in gps / Flonase settings but still the same.

Anyone know of any issues or settings to sure this?

I noticed my watch usually shows little bit more than the official length.

Mine typically shows 1-2% long, but that is within tolerances of GPS...but with STRYD I get very accurate distances, especially on trails/tree cover.
