... before the start date.
The contract is not binding.
So whats the best professional way to tell them that I am pursuing another opportunity and would like to nullify the contract.

Be honest. Hopefully you have a good excuse (found an opportunity close to family for example). Graciously thank them for having given you the job in the first place.
