'former transporter gets russian range outdoors' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'former transporter gets russian range' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'transporter' becomes 'tram' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'russian range' becomes 'ural' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ex'+'tram'+'ural'='EXTRAMURAL'
