COLEGIALA N0 7
THE MARATHON
Here we are at the 7th edition of Colegiala Tango Marathon. From 18th to 20th of September 2020, the marathon will take place in the Residence Marina Tower, which was in the past, a Fiat Sea Colony for children and which today lodges a holiday village with direct access to the beach of Marina di Massa.
Colegiala is a cozy event: role-balanced, friendly atmosphere, perfect dancefloor (floating wooden laminate with 5mm absorbent mat), relaxing social area, lots of windows with garden view to have the full day and night experience.
The marathon will be residential (participants must lodge in the Village Marina Tower in double, triple or quadruple rooms). Dinners and brunches and breakfasts will be served in a separate restaurant hall from there participants will enjoy a beautiful view of the sea under the light of the sun and the moon.
Snacks, fruits, water and tisanes will be always available.
​
Registration starts the 8th of April, 2020
​
You can enjoy the Sea, the view of the Apuan Alps.... and a LOT OF TANGO!

We look forward to host you in our marathon in Tuscany!

THE VENUE
The tower, originally named TORRE BALLILLA, was built in 1933, in just 90 days and with the work of 1,000 men, commissioned by Giovanni Agnelli and created on a project by Vittorio Bonadè-Bottino.
The Tower, which represents a strong visual signal of landscape, was conceived as a giant helix that rotates around the a central well formed by the ramp of stairs. The foundations are based directly on the sand.
Over time, the Colonia Fiat has not undergone major transformations external. Saved from the bombings of World War II, was used as a military hospital. Between 1991 and 1992 were carried out renovations in order to host the Village Marina Tower.

REGISTRATION RULES
REGISTRATION METHOD
To register for the marathon please fill in the form that will be published at the end of this section.
​
After the on-line registration you will get an automatic email to confirm that the process worked (if you don't receive the email, please, check the SPAM folder or contact us).
​
Couples: If you are in couple, both of you must fill in the form separately, specifying the name of partner in the box (in the registration form) at the moment of registration! (is not possible do it after!). Couples do not take precedence. It is not possible to change a couple registration to a single registration.
Accommodation: As the marathon is residential, in the registration form you have to choose the type of accommodation you prefer. We point out that, except for those who subscribed in couple and share the same room, we can not ensure that the roommate you suggested in the registration form will be the effective one... clearly roommates that we will assign will be of your same sex.
Change room: If the places in accommodation you requested are finished (first come ...) we will send you a confirmation e-mail with the accommodation that we can offer to you, so in the registration form we ask you if you are willing to change your accommodation (eg. change from double to quadruple room).
Confirmation: We need two weeks to process all the requests and after this time, you'll receive a message from us telling you whether your registration is confirmed or if you've been put on a waiting list (depending on number and balance of registrations). The confirmation to participate is strictly personal and therefore cannot be transferred to another person.
​
PAYMENT METHOD​​
If your registration is confirmed you will be invited to pay the marathon cost .You can attend the event once you have paid the cost and receive a confirmation from us. Please consider that if you register in couple but you will pay separately, you will be finally declared "in" only when both payments are received. Payment must be done by bank transfer within 7 days of our registration confirmation. If you do not pay this on time, it causes a lot of extra work for us and so we would really appreciate your co-operation in paying on time. If you have a problem paying on time, please contact us to say when we should expect to receive it or we may take you off the list without any warning. Details regarding payment will be given in the confirmation e-mail. Please make sure that you cover all the costs of the bank transfer (if it is a European International one you have to state it explicitly while asking it) as we quoted for the fee a net cost.
