Three ran to that place (5)
I believe the answer is:
there
'that place' is the definition.
(as opposed to 'here' meaning this place)
'three ran' is the wordplay.
'ran' indicates an anagram (letters have run around).
'three' with letters rearranged gives 'THERE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for there that I've seen before include "please feel reassured!" , "In that location" , "expression of sympathy" , "Present" , "Ether (anag)" .)
