Narrative:

Training flight going to tvf for landings. Setup for left downwind entry for runway 04 and made traffic calls 10 nm out and while entering downwind. Did a stop [and] go and while rolling down the runway for departure; [we] heard a CTAF call for an aircraft crossing runway 04. [We] looked to the side of the runway and saw an aircraft crossing the runway hold-short markings. [We] immediately aborted the takeoff and came to a stop approximately 500 [feet] from the intersection while the aircraft crossed. [We] asked if he had seen us and he had not. After the aircraft safely crossed the runway; we initiated another takeoff and returned to base. If the takeoff had not been aborted; I believe that we would've impacted the crossing aircraft.
