Three ran yonder (5)
I believe the answer is:
there
'yonder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'three ran' is the wordplay.
'ran' indicates an anagram (letters have run around).
'three' with letters rearranged gives 'THERE'.
(Other definitions for there that I've seen before include "It's said to comfort" , "comforting word" , "it may be said to be comforting" , "that particular place" , "in that case" .)
