I came across this well written and relevant blog post today from a Virginia law firm, the Berlick Law Firm.
The article is on forum selection clauses.

I recommend you read this post.
If you want to ask the Court to review your non-compete in a declaratory judgment motion, but not in the jurisdiction named in your contract, you may or may not have some options.

Now, I always preach against non-compete litigation because it is so expensive… BUT, sometimes the court is needed to decide a dispute, and the issue is often, which court.
