A city clip has a person going around Durham (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trondheim

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a city' is the definition.
(Trondheim is an example)

'clip has a person going around durham' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'going' could be 'on' (both can mean functioning or activated) and 'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trondheim that I've seen before include "'Nidaros'" , "Norwegian city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
