My garmin fenix 5 does not record the first 500 yards or so of my runs.

When I start it has full GPS signal and the distance starts counting up. When I sink with the app its not logged the first 500 yards on the map. It also looks like I have run round in circles at the end... Any thoughts?

First guess is even though it's reporting full GPS, it is not. Can you post a screen shot or a link to one of the problematic activities?

Does this happen on every activity or only the ones that start/stop at this location?

No, it has happened on everything I have done since I ran a marathon in October. Before that it didn't do it.

I'm seeing a few other posts from users having similar issues. Take a look at this post from pamarunkov and see if it helps:

Make sure you've synced any activities before you do this.

Yup all ready on it.
