Heart O' Dixie Triathlon

The Heart O' Dixie Triathlon, held annually in Louisville, Mississippi, takes place on the Saturday of the Neshoba County Fair. The event features a challenging course beginning with a 0.5-mile swim in Lake Tiak O’Khata, followed by a 27.5-mile bike ride to the intersection of Highways 15 and 16 in Philadelphia. The race concludes with a 7-mile run finishing on the historic Neshoba County Fairgrounds' horse racing track.

Established in 1980, shortly after the inception of modern triathlons, this event offers individual and team participation options, creating a spirited and competitive atmosphere in a scenic, historic setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
