Heart O' Dixie Triathlon

The Heart O' Dixie Triathlon coincides with the Neshoba County Fair and is a renowned event in endurance sports. Athletes start with a swim at Lake Tiak O’Khata in Louisville, transition to a bike ride reaching the Hwy 15 & 16 intersection in Philadelphia, and finish with a run culminating on the historic Neshoba County Fairgrounds' horse racing track. This triathlon harmoniously brings together swimming, biking, and running. Established shortly after the inception of triathlon events, it continues to challenge and bring together endurance enthusiasts in a celebrated tradition.
