Running causes the body to produce more blood to make oxygen to obtain stamina while walking is a low energy exercise and the build up of more blood to produce oxygen is slower.

What sort of health benefits do you get from running in high altitude?

Less than what you get from running in low altitude, because the partial pressure of oxygen (and other gasses, too) is lower. This means your body doesn't get as much oxygen, so you can't work as hard, and it leads to oxygen deprivation. Don't do it until AFTER acclimating to the altitude.
