ECS Triathlon, in full Espérance cycliste Sartrouville Triathlon, is a French sports club based in Sartrouville in the suburbs of Paris. Its specialization is triathlon for elite level athletes, especially Olympians. Pierre Veron founded it in 1993 as a section of the cycling club Espérance cycliste Sartrouville and led it until his death in 2009, when his son Denis Veron took over.
