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

'hill runner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'togo bang out of order' is the wordplay.
'out of order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'togo'+'bang'='togobang'
'togobang' with letters rearranged gives 'TOBOGGAN'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
