N708RF, a privately registered Cessna 172E, was conducting a flight from High River Aerodrome (CEN4), AB, to Whitecourt Airport (CYZU), AB, with the pilot and one passenger onboard. The pilot elected to use Runway 07 at CEN4 for the takeoff attempt. As the aircraft was not accelerating at a rate the pilot was anticipating, the decision was made to abort the take-off run. The available runway remaining was insufficient to stop the aircraft, and the aircraft exited the end of the runway surface. The nose landing gear subsequently collapsed, the prop struck the ground and there was significant damage to the cowling and forward fuselage. There were no injuries to the pilot or passenger.
