De 20 à 25 lecteurs marathoniens se relaieront en marchant ou courant sur un tapis roulant tout en récitant un texte sur la notion de vitesse, lors de l’événement Lecture rapide. Les lecteurs-coureurs présenteront au public leur manifeste de la vitesse, éloge de la lenteur, traité philosophique, emploi du temps, extrait littéraire, recette, texte sur le continuum espace-temps ou leurs notes biologiques. La durée des lectures peut varier d’une seconde à quatre minutes.
