In speech they can mean the same thing.
Vorbeilaufen can be used to refer to someone actually running past you as well as to someone who walks past you. Not always but often "vorbeilaufen" will carry a stronger nuance of not noticing the other party while "vorbeigehen" might imply that the other party was ignored or should have been noticed. These nuances heavily depend on context, however.
In written language I would assume vorbeilaufen is used more often with the first meaning: running.
