Hurriedly race into formation (8)
I believe the answer is:
creation
'hurriedly race into formation' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'race into formation' is the wordplay.
'formation' indicates an anagram.
'race'+'into'='raceinto'
'raceinto' anagrammed gives 'CREATION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creation that I've seen before include "Genesis" , "Dawn of time" , "A thing made or invented" , "Reaction to act of making something new" , "Haydn oratorio" .)
