It is much more complex than that.
Anti-competition clauses are enforceable as long as they are reasonable but there is no simple definition of what is reasonable as it depends on what exactly you do, what info you would have had access to, what the mile radius is, what other opportunities there would be for you were you to obey the clause, what remuneration you had/ have to compensate for the clause and how termination is handled etc (eg garden leave) etc etc0
