A study was done weighing people wearing dry clothes that walked through sprinklers and were weighed after versus the same people in the same clothes that ran. The runners weighed more.
I'm working off memory from the days of running very short distance ~50m between buildings in strong rain to avoid getting wet.
I seem a lot wet if I walked between the buildings at 1 mph than if I ran 12 mph.
