The wording of the Dwarven trait "Slow and Steady" is:
Dwarves have a base speed of 20 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
(emphasis mine)
Obviously that applies to the typical walking speed reduction for wearing medium or heavy armor. However, does it also apply to the reduction to 3x speed for the run action while wearing heavy armor? Technically that's a modification to their speed by wearing armor.

As written, I'd say that they do not take the reduction to x3.
Dwarves : 'natural sprinters you know, very fast over short distances!' :)
