George, I was wrong. You do not get wet faster if you run in the rain. This is from the April issue of Outside magazine. "...the two joggers donned identical cotton sweatsuits and caps and stepped out into a downpour. Peterson walked a 100 meter track at a three mile an hour pace, while Wallis ran it at nine miles an hour. Inside, the two weighed their clothing and found that Peterson's had absorbed half a pound of water, compared to Wallis's one third of a pound. They concluded that a walker will get 30 to 50 percent wetter than a runner."
