Will a person running in the rain to a given destination get less wet than a person walking?

It depends on the distance, speed and how heavy the rain is. There is a saturation point so if you walk two miles in torrential rain you will be saturated same as if you run it. The person running could arrive a second before it stops raining and the person walking would have dried off a bit by the time they arrive, in this case you would arrive drier by walking. If neither person is travelling long enough to saturate the person travelling slower will be more wet. If the runner gets there before reaching saturation - and it continues raining - then the walker will be wetter on arrival. The answer is: it depends!

in general, you don't come in contact with near as much rain when running vs walking.
Using a few generic values:
rain terminal velocity: 6.5 m/s, walking: .9 m/s, jogging: 1.8 m/s, person dimensions: 1.8x.61x.15m
and a generic formula for area of rain which you could come in contact with: A=(sqrt(walk^2 + rain^2)*width)*(depth + height) [ m^3 / s ]
this gives rate of exposure walking = 7.8 m^3/s, and running = 8.0 m^3/s
however, even though you are exposed to slightly more when running, this can also be offset if the person is running at close to a 75 degree tilt
also, (the defining factor) the slower walker is in the rain for twice the amount of time & therefore almost double the amount of rain
