KLEX CRJ TO distance

We've had people in the sim at Downsview working this all day.
The deal is that the pilots missed several visual cues...
repaved runway now 150 ft. wide, new taxi routing,
small yellow sign a little down to the right that reads "3"...

I keep hearing the media state the CRJ fully loaded needs 5000+ feet for
takeoff. But the devil is always in the details: Does anyone have the approx
expected ground roll TO numbers? The expected roll distance to V1? And does
anyone know if runway 26 has runway remaining signage?
I'm asking because I would have expected rotation by 2500 feet and wheels
off by 3000. Contrast this with the media stating that the NTSB found scrape
marks on the departure end of runway 26 possibly from the CRJ overrotating.

There are a number of runways here in British Columbia of around 5000',
which have been regularly used by CRJ's and/or 737's.
CYZT Port Hardy - 5000'
CYZP Sandspit - 5120'
CYDQ Dawson Creek - 5000'
CYCG Castlegar - 5300'

Many years ago I flew on a 737 from Vancouver to Port Hardy and
Sandspit.

5000+ ft seems to be the nominal number floating around for the CRJ, but
with proper configuration and/or load limiting, you can take some fairly
large airplanes into some fairly small places. DCA and LGA are obvious
examples. 727s at Tegucigalpa (TGU), with only about 5600 ft available
after the displaced threshold, and 747s into Marana (6800 ft) are a couple
of others.

Keep in mind that a reduced thrust power setting was likely used. Modern
airliners rarely use max power for take-off. If the crew set up for 7000' of
runway, the power was likely reduced quite a bit.
