might it have to do with the angle of the rain? if it's straight down, 45 degrees, blown by the wind, etc... this is hard to wrap my mind around even though it comes from a reputeable publisher. it seems like if you run, you're in the rain for less time, which equates to less wet...thoughts?

Yes, it is true that you get just as wet if you run than if you walk. The reason is, no matter the speed you are travelling, you will still pass through the same amount of distance, in which drops of rain are falling.

SEE THIS IS THE ATTITUDES OF PEOPLE IN GENERAL/
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF A SOLDIER WHO IS KEEPING VIGILANCE ON THE BORDER OF OUR COUNTRIES THEY ARE ON RAIN THEY ARE ON ICE THEY ARE ON WIND THEY ARE ON HOT.
AFTER ALL IT WETS YOUR CLOTH WHAT GOES WRONG WHEN YOU GET WET YOU CAN DRY IT UP. AND HONESTLY SPEAKING IT IS A PLEASURE IN STANDING IN RAINS AND PLAY ETC
OF COURSE THE DRESS GETS WET AS WELL AS THE BODY WHERE IN IT IS THE PUREST NATURAL WATER SOURCE IN THE WORLD GIVEN BY THE GOD AS A GIFT TO ALL. SO TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND WELCOME THE RAIN AS WELL AS THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF THE WORLD.

that was actually a topic for discovery channels mythbusters. you actually get more wet when you run compared to walking. it was tested as a myth and it was true, you get more wet by running.

watch mythbusters, that question was answered. you will accumulate more water walking in the rain, than running.
