Wild gang proceeds on a run hampered by stuff carried (3-3-5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egg-and-spoon race

'run hampered by stuff carried' is the definition.
(run where competitors carry an egg and spoon)

'wild gang proceeds on a' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'gang'+'proceeds'+'on'+'a'='gangproceedsona'
'gangproceedsona' with letters rearranged gives 'EGG-AND-SPOON-RACE'.

(Another definition for egg-and-spoon race that I've seen is " Handicapped running contest".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
