Alice Aprot Nawowuna (born 2 January 1994) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes mainly in track running and cross country running competitions. She is the sister of former world champion Joseph Ebuya. She was the gold medallist in the 10,000 metres at the 2015 African Games, where she also won 5000 metres bronze. She was a bronze medallist at the 2014 African Cross Country Championships.
Aprot emerged on the Kenyan cross country running circuit as a teenager. She made her international debut at the age of sixteen, coming ninth in the junior race of the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Among a strong 5000 metres field at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, she took the bronze medal behind future world medallists Genzebe Dibaba and Mercy Cherono. The event marked a change for Aprot, who wore spikes rather than going barefoot as she previously had, but she managed a personal best of 15:17.39 minutes. She made her debut on the IAAF Diamond League series that year, coming fifth at the DN Galan.
Aprot was less successful in the 2011 season, managing only fifth in the junior race at the 2011 African Cross Country Championships. She missed the remainder of the season and only returned to regular competition in 2014, the same year she entered the senior ranks. Her first senior medal came at the 2014 African Cross Country Championships, where she was an individual bronze medallist and a team gold medallist. She placed fifth at the Kenyan World Championships trials event, but this earned her selection for both the 5000 m and 10,000 metres events at the 2015 African Games. She excelled at that event, setting a African Games record of 31:24.18, beating compatriot Gladys Chesire. She was also a 5000 m bronze medallist, completing a Kenyan podium sweep with Margaret Chelimo and Rosemary Wanjiru.
